IDRISI Focus Paper Modeling REDD Baselines using IDRISI’s Land Change Modeler

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is a climate change mitigation strategy gaining momentum with conservation organizations, project developers and governments in developing countries. Forests play a major role in the sequestration of carbon, and the conservation of tropical forests, in particular, yields the greatest potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This paper will provide a general overview of modeling REDD baselines, one of many components required for REDD implementation.

Watershed Mapping and Land-Cover Classification in Sedimentation Study

India's Western Ghats is one of 25 biodiversity hot spots in the world and is home to the Kudremukh National Park, an area characterized by rich evergreen forest and significant populations of endangered species, including the lion-tailed macaque and tiger.

Southeast Asia Gravity and Magnetics Interpretation

Bird Geophysical and Gibson Consulting teamed up on this speculative interpretation project showing the advanced application of gridding, mapping and interpretation techniques to data sets over Southeast Asia.

Geochemical Data Processing and Analysis: A Regional Case History

From large-scale reconnaissance programmes that cover countries or continents to local programmes on a single exploration properiy today’s explorotionists have increasing access to multielement geochemical data. On a regional scale, the geologist is inticiting explo’ation in on often unfamiliar country or region to recommend areas for detailed investigation. Data volumes ore large with as many as 40000 samples assayed for up to 48 elements - and often stored in different digital Formats. Quality control is o problem since historical data often have different sources, survey types and analytical techniques.
